No new big development proposals have popped up lately. No new Design Review Board meetings on the schedule. But some smaller projects are of note, including these three which if nothing else will be noticeable with demolition activity on arterials:

Its official DPD notation says 6-7 stories:

Most of the process happened before we started doing this fulltime seven years ago, so I don’t know how they originally described it, but there’s likely a sheaf of documents online … can’t go look at them right this moment, am catching up for the day … TR

Yes, we refer to the Blueprint site all the time for verification of various projects. That is a busy block – we wrote about a lot split in the 3900 block early this year

Is that the one where the houses are already up? Meantime, for the address you mention, I can’t tell if this was a split or subdivision but one house will go up on the site of the garage and one on the site of the current house, 3925 SW Kenyon and 3929 SW Kenyon

Site plans are filed with DPD but they only really show the footprint at this point. The sale price shows as $510,000 – that’s because it was a double lot, officially Lots 8-9 in the plat, almost 8,000 square feet in a SF 5000 zone (where lots don’t have to be 5000 sf – ours, not far away, is 4200 sf). And with a view – especially considering almost all these new houses go up at three floors with a rooftop deck …

Gatewood/Upper Fauntleroy is getting to be popular – just in a relatively short radius from where we are, a three-story modern is almost topped out on the site where a tiny old bungalow was torn down at 8313 California SW, another with a teardown that appears to have two going up at California/Northrup, and on 41st south of Thistle, a one-down/two-up. When a small house on our block also sold recently, I was shocked to find out it was NOT slated for teardown/rebuild. – TR

@WSB:
Yes, your Jan 2014 article is about 3947 Kenyon (3 houses west) which has 2 new houses that are built and are now getting finishing touches. One is surprisingly a 2 story modern that is a little more creative design than the rest.

Both the new houses are different shades of gray like the existing side-lot modern (3941) next to them built in 2012.

Coming back to 3929, that lot sits high up off the street where Kenyon crests. So 3 stories with rooftops will likely have really good permanent views. Once 3929 is replaced by ,what I assume, will be equally gray moderns, the 3900 block of Kenyon will have 5 modern SFRs and will be officially (well, by me) renamed the “10 shades of Gray” block.
